wasn't my first choice
I had been looking for a faucet that was more user friendly than my prior one. But I had in my mind I still wanted something similar. My previous faucet had a straighter line and the hose pulled out straight across instead of down. It was my style..modern but not too art deco. When the store I purchased it in didn't have anything to my liking in stock, I had to reassess what I wanted. I really didn't want an art deco design, but my choices were very limited. I needed to purchase one that day since my old faucet was completely broken and we were also replacing the sink the same day. When I saw this was pretty much my only choice, I was a bit depressed since I really didn't like the look. It reminded me of a laboratory faucet. But once we installed it my mind was changed. I love the fact that the hose pulled down right into the drain. I also loved that I didn't really have to pull it out the faucet, I could just pivot it to clear away debris. When using my old faucet, while using the hose, sometimes it would slip out of my hand, since it was so big and bulky. It was like trying to tame an octopus. The water would spray all over the kitchen as well as my clothes. It was always such a big mess. This faucet is very sleek and won't slip out of your hand. But even if it did, the hose faces down so water will only spray in the sink. I would recommend this to everyone

Looks good, but drips...
Great looking modern faucet that gets lots of compliments. It drips however, and sometimes has a random spray when in standard faucet mode. You have to really press down hard to make sure it is not in spray mode to prevent this. Even when not using the spry mode in awhile, it will randomly drip from it.

A faucet very well conceived.
A great acquisition for our kitchen. Especially appreciate the magnetic lock of the pull-down.
The low flow water rate is more of an urban advantage, not so useful in the country with artesian well; but I guess we will grow accustomed to it.

A quality product
I really like the look and the quality of the product. At first I thought it would look too big and clunky but in reality it looks just fine. The only thing that i might adjust if possible is the ease in which the faucet rotates. it can be too easily be swung by accident. maybe it's just my unit.

Perfect, beautiful, easy to install
As a woman, I picked out a faucet based on how well the sprayer would go back into the faucet without it hanging out later on, when it starts to wear out.
Never did I think it would be as easy as it was to
install. I thought perhaps I would have to hire someone,
but with a little bit of reading of the directions and the
ease in which to hook up the water lines, as well as
installing the actual faucet, it was a snap for even I
to do. Took me no time at all and it was perfect.

Uncomfortable but it looks pretty
I can't believe all the positive reviews on the design, it is uncomfortable to turn off or on, when your hands are wet you will bring water to the counter stone as you turn off the water.
Bad ergonomic design but looks pretty.

Best kitchen faucet I have ever owned
There not much to say when it's the best kitchen faucet I have ever owned. Functionality and style stand out above all others as does quality of the product.

Easy to install.
Great faucet. The height allows for the washing of larger items such as pots and pans. Easy to install.

Thank you for your question. If debris is trapped in the wand assembly, please remove the wand from the hose and try lightly tapping it upside-down on the counter. You may also try soaking it in a 50/50 white vinegar and water solution for about 15 minutes to help remove minerals.

I had this faucet installed in a kitchen remodel. It's beautiful and looks great in my kitchen. It works great in "spray" mode, but in the "regular" flow seems very slow/weak to me. Could something be wrong with the faucet, or the installation? I read in one of the customer reviews that the flow seems to be somewhat of a "low flow". I'm just wondering if this is intended, or if we did something wrong. Thanks!

Hi Laura, Thank you for your question. The 9159-AR-DST has a max flow rate of 1.8 gallaons per minute. Older model faucets had flow rates of 2.2 to 2.5 gpm. This may be some of the difference that you are seeing. We recommend removing the wand assembly and turning on the faucet to flush the lines. Make sure that there is no debris in the wand affecting the flow as well.Thanks,Dave

Without using the pull-out, how far over the sink does the faucet extend? In other words, what is the distance from the hole in the counter to the stream of water? I need a faucet that will clear the edge of my sink and not be too close

We have the trinsic in our kitchen and love it! My mother in law was over recently and said that it was installed incorrectly and that hot is supposed to be up (as in handle at 12 o'clock) and cold is supposed to be down (as in pulled toward you). Is this correct?

Hi TC, Thank you for your question. When the handle on the model 9159-CZ-DST is at the 12 o'clock position the faucet is actually off. To turn the water on you pull the handle to the right. The cold water starts there and gets hotter as you pull the handle forward. Your current installation is correct.Thanks,Dave

Hi CharlieQW, Thank you for your question. The main difference between the 9159-AR-DST and the 19935-SSSD-DST is in the styling of the faucet. Both faucets are pulldown spray models with magnedock, touch clean sprayheads, and our Diamand Seal Technology cartridges.Thanks,Dave
